Laura Hale
(History): Laura Hale is a born werewolf, the eldest daughter of the late Alpha Talia Hale, the sister of Derek and Cora Hale, and the niece of Peter Hale, which also makes her the paternal cousin of the werecoyote Malia Tate.
After the majority of her family were killed in the Hale house fire, Laura inherited her mother's powers and became the Alpha of what remained of their pack. She and Derek then went on the run from the Argent family of werewolf hunters, who they believed to be responsible for the fire, eventually settling down in New York.
Six years after the fire, Laura returned to her hometown of Beacon Hills, California in order to investigate a dead deer with a spiral carved into its body, a sign for revenge in werewolf culture, which Laura took to be a message to her family. Shortly after her return, she was attacked by her uncle Peter, who had recently come out of his coma and who was eager to steal her Alpha spark and become an Alpha himself, healing what remained of his burns with his augmented power and allowing him to begin to build a new pack with which to enact his revenge against those who were involved with setting the fire.
_______
(Personality): Laura is fairly similar to her mother, Talia, due to her natural leadership abilities and her tendency to speak her mind, even to those who are stronger or of a higher rank. This was evidenced during the Werewolf summit when she stood up to Kali by defending Ennis. She's also very intelligent, as she understood how the Argent Family of Hunters worked from a young age and was keen to investigate the news of a spiral burned into the fur of a deer in her hometown of Beacon Hills, an investigation that almost cost her her life.
________
(Appearance): Laura's a beautiful young woman with long, light brown hair and hazel eyes. She's relatively tall with a slim, fit figure, and usually dresses in a casual, yet utilitarian style that consisted of jeans, boots, t-shirts, and jackets.
__________
(Power and Abilities): Laura was an Evolved Alpha Werewolf, which has been implied to make her even more powerful than most Alpha Werewolves. An "Evolved Werewolf" is one who has the rare ability to shapeshift into a true wolf, an ability that seems to be unique to the Hale Family as far as real Werewolves are concerned. Werewolves with this ability, such as Talia, Laura, and Derek, are very respected in the Werewolf community due to having to find the balance between human and wolf. Though Laura's powers as an Evolved Alpha Werewolf have yet to be fully shown, it can be assumed that she's exceptionally powerful, as her brother Derek was eventually able to kill a Berserker with his bare hands just as an Evolved Beta, indicating that Laura would be capable of performing such feats and more.
_______
(Weaknesses): Laura possesses the standard weaknesses of all Werewolves, including a vulnerability to wolfsbane, which could weaken or kill her depending on the dosage and species used, and electricity, which could do as little as prevent her from accessing her powers to stopping her heart and killing her outright.
Though Laura is a born Werewolf who has plenty of experience and control over her lycanthropy, she's still adversely affected by full moons (including supermoons) and heightened emotions, which can make any Werewolf lose control under the right conditions.
Additionally, like all werecreatures, Laura would lose her powers during the peak of a lunar eclipse when the moon was hidden by the earth's umbral shadow.
Like all supernatural creatures, Laura is adversely affected by Mountain Ash, which could be used to either trap her or keep her out of a given area if it was arranged in an unbroken circle around a certain area.
